Yu Wei and Ian to change and blur By the tis turned solid once more, they were noithin a hallway next to Autu Immortal Diancai and Yu Wei suddenly appear, Autumn Leaf was quite startled She immediately addressed the two: “Madame, Immortal Diancai”
“It seems they don’t want us to watch,” Ih
“I wonder who junior apprentice-brother’s master is” Yu Wei was curious as well
Just now, they had only heard the words, ‘I’m his master’, before they were forcibly teleported away They hadn’t seen the ’s master was
“What happened?” Autu master’s teacher?”
“Nothing” Yu Wei shook her head and s for us to know about”
“Oh” Autu no further
“Master” Ning immediately called out with respect and excitement The skinny, white-bearded elder in the Daoist robes s, then looked towards Old Man Yuan
“YOU!” Old Man Yuan’s eyes bulged “You cucu away such a wonderful disciple!”
“This is the third tihed “Why do you always come after the disciples that I take in and teach?”
Ning blinked
The third time?
It seeone after two of his fellow disciples as well?
“Ahaha, all I can say is that you are forhed, “Since it’s you, Subhuti…that ht? Go ahead and tell me whatever it is that you want This oldto spend theht make”
“Ji Ning, are you willing?” Subhuti looked towards Ning
“I’ll follow your orders in all things, Master,” Ning said respectfully If it didn’t h for his master, there would be no issues More importantly, Master Subhuti had to knowtrusted that Master Subhuti wouldn’t steer hi in this ddecision
Subhuti nodded slightly
“He can be both considered one of your disciples as well as one ofof you…that you stand with us, on our side”
“You…” Old Man Yuan’s face becahtly to behold
Subhuti frowned “Are you still unwilling to make your choice?”
“It’son a new a disciple, and I’ him to switch sides! He’ll be our jointly shared disciple If you want divine abilities or Protocos to force s work out splendidly when little Peacock became my apprentice? She addresses both of us as ‘master’!”
Ning was intrigued Were they referring to senior apprentice-sister Peacock?
“Little Peacock?” Subhuti shook his head “That was before the stor Now that the storm is already here…of course you have to make your choice Otherwise, there’s no way I’ll permit my disciple to become apprenticed to you as well”
“How can you…you are absolutely…you old blockhead!” Old Man Yuan was infuriated
“Hmph” Subhuti snorted coldly “Then letbeco the Sea supposed to do? Is he supposed to choose to stand with me, or is he supposed to choose to stand with you? If he stands with the Seamless Gate, then I’ll definitely strike and annihilate such a vile disciple! But if he stands with us, then you’ll move to kill him as well After all, by then it will be a life-and-death battle; no one will be able to escape it”
Old Man Yuan’s face grew even uglier to behold now
Ning, standing to one side, now understood everything
Right If he took on two , ene was on, he would end up beco enemies with one of his masters!
“If you want hiine you don’t want to s difficult for him; you don’t want hiht? That’s why you have to stand with us; only by doing so will Ji Ning not suffer such a sad fate,” Subhuti said “So long as you agree…Ji Ning can take you on as master”
“You…” Old Man Yuan had a complicated look on his face
Ning just stood there, watching quietly
The Four Ancestors of the River Source; they were a formidable poithin the Three Realms Most likely, whichever side Old Man Yuan chose would be the side the Daofathers who followed him would choose
“Why are you forcing me on this? This isn’t just a personal rand-disciples to worry about” Old Man Yuan was truly upset now
“There’s nothing to negotiate!” Subhuti shook his head “Don’t ”
“But didn’t things work out perfectly when I took on little Peacock?” Old Man Yuan snapped back irritably
“That’s because you haven’t made your choice yet Once you do make your choice in the future…if you choose to join the Seamless Gate, little Peacock will have to make her choice as well Will she follow you, or will she followby little Peacock; I don’t wish for Ji Ning to face the sah situation in the future”
Old Man Yuan suddenly grew angry “I don’t get it Why are all of you so damned stubborn?”
“I don’t understand either! All of us were born from the same pri together nohy is it that you are roving about on your own? All four of you Four Ancestors of the River Source act in the exact saive a damn about your old friends and friendshi+ps” Subhuti was no longer calry that his eyebroere twitching, and as he spoke he pointed angrily at Old Man Yuan
“The rest of you are in Nuwa’s debt, but we aren’t,” Old Man Yuan replied angrily “And Pangu’s Prio This is now the era of the Three Real bastard just wants to take over the Three Realms; let him! Do you Daofathers really care who is in control of the Three Realms? Do you have to risk everyone’s lives over this question? You say that I don’t care about old friends and friendshi+ps? If I didn’t, I would’ve joined the Seao!”
Subhuti was now truly enraged “How can you be so…”
